I ordered a massage chair online that I hope to relieve my post workout soreness. It was finally delivered yesterday but didn’t work quite as I expected. It’s nothing close to a real Masseuse lol. I might return it.
Good night all! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone this morning. Went to the lab to get my second urine test today. I had the results emailed to me but my doctor hasn't reviewed them yet. I got the results after office hours.😃
Yangtzer Recently I have been using Classical Stretch and Essentrics. I like this one for hips/lower body. (I don't know why it has this box. I only wanted to have a link here. Just click on youtube and it should take you to the video.
Hebrews 12:12
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees.
Monica hated evenings that she had to spend alone. When she was with friends, she felt so much stronger. She put forth all her energy to have a good time when she went out. On the nights she stayed home, however, she just didn't have the strength to put on a happy front. Dieting was so much more difficult without help from friends. It is good to know that God is ever with us. On those occasions when there is no one around to help us, we can turn to God for strength and endurance. He helps us pick ourselves up and continue on our way. He strengthens feeble knees and lifts hands that hang down.
Today's thought: My energy comes from a source other than food!
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
The best idea the group ever had was to pray for one another. Every Monday morning, they got together for exercise and a Bible study. They talked about their diets and how things were going, and they had to announce publicly what their weight was and how much they had lost or gained. Then, they promised to pray for one another, and they swapped telephone numbers so they could give a call of encouragement through the week. It was a wonderful system, and it helped so much to know you weren't dieting alone. The power of a well-meant prayer was amazing. It made dieting much easier.
Today's thought: A prayer a day keeps the flabbies away!
Good morning! Diana, I don't blame you for not posting last night. I did 2 miles Leslie Sansone this morning before I left for work. Power walked and ran errands after I was dropped off. Will punch in a few minutes. 😃
Good day to everyone
WI still up but working on my choices
WO Week 4, session 3 done.....I did not workout yesterday so have to make it up tomorrow.
Things are still bad with the homeless in front of our business. But the fire department finally got them to keep the fire out of the barrel and they moved 95% of the things away from the building and sidewalk. We are now focusing back again with parking enforcement to ticket or tow. But they won't they are the new protected class. Sorry if this sounds so bitter. If they showed some respect for our property we would not kick up such a fuss. This is week 8 of this battle.
yangzter great job on your loss for the week btw. Sore muscles and DOMS from working out is always a constant in my life lol. Just keep moving/stretching. It heals up faster. Be gentle. But don't stop I promise it fades and won't return until you up reps/intensity/weight. I promise my hips and some other muscles stay sore 70% of the time it seems.
diana, it is ok not be tired and not post. but your steadyness is so rock solid we don't get concerned (yet)
ciecie, you are just as consistent and steady thank you
waving at teri, rachel, sinarose and anyone I have missed
FOOD: I binged again before bed. I’m a little tired of this mindful eating thing. It’s stressful to constantly watch what you eat. But it’s OK, I’m not perfect and will move on today. Maybe I’ll try the 16:8 fasting today, wait till 4pm to eat, lol.
Waving hello!! Teri, SinaRose, Shrink
Ciecie..Happy Walking! I like Leslie Sansone too. Do you follow any other YouTube coach?
Diana..happy lifting. Is the gym close to home?
Nancy..Wow, Week 4, session 3 already, good job!! Will the homeless move away when the winter comes?
I was off plan today. I am also tired of all of this right now. Also frustrated because this week is my DH's birthday and we will be going out for that. There are no good choices where he wants to go. We are also going to the fair. I don't know why I keep giving in and going off plan. There isn't a good reason for it. I'm doing well in the exercise department, though.
Yangtzer The "gym" is within 5 miles of me. It's not really a gym, it's the "Senior Center". They have a gym, classes, exercise pool, etc. But they also have other activities like crafts, games, coloring, seminars, etc. My friend, who is 70 had a fit about us joining the "Senior Center" because she doesn't like being considered "old". I told her that there are people in there pumping iron and doing a lot more than we do. If that's what it's like being a "senior" I'll take it. But, she needs to check herself before she makes comments about the "Senior Center". I see a gym when I go there and don't worry about all of that. It's $10 a month, very clean and has a lot of nice amenities and activities.
Food: Off plan
Exercise: 15 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes bike
Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said unto the, 'Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.'
Patrick always hated programs on starving people around the world. The minute they would come on, he would turn off the television. What business was it of his if people half-way around the world were starving? He had all he needed, and he worked hard for it. So what if he was overweight? He earned that right because he was born in America! The Bible teaches us that God gives us an abundance for just one reason: so that we will share it with those in need. If we take the bounty God offers and are selfish or gluttonous with it, then we are saying to God that we won't live as His children. We should take only what we need, and share the rest, for that is the way of God.
Today's thought: I have more than I need, and I don't really need much of what I want.
